Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by William McLaren

King Arthur welcomes the Green Knight into the Banqueting Hall and invites him to dismount and eat with the company. Everyone is amazed to see the unexpected visitor, holding a bunch of holly in one hand and a large green axe in the other. The Green Knight turns down Arthur's invitation, instead issuing a challenge, that if anyone there is brave enough to exchange blows with him, he will give them his battleaxe

Landlord and Bar Sign

Due to the number of customers trying to pay for drinks by cheque, the landlord's sign in this London pub makes it clear that draughts, not overdrafts, are available behind the bar
